Seohyun will appear as a special guest performer at the 'Sol Philharmonic Orchestra 8th regular concert,' held at Lotte Concert Hall in Songpa-gu, Seoul, on Friday, March 13, at 8 PM (KST). For this performance, Seohyun is set to present the charms of classical music by performing Vittorio Monthi's masterpiece, 'Csárdás,' a piece known for its intense rhythms and emotional melodies.
What makes this stage particularly special is that Seohyun has been learning the violin for only about 5 months as a hobby. Rather than aiming for the perfection of a professional musician, she is preparing with the determination to show the purse passion of someone who genuinely enjoys music.
Seohyun's participation came about through her empathy with the mission of Sol Philharmonic Orchestra, an ensemble composed of people who love classical music rather than professional performers. It is reported that she decided to perform with the hope to lower the barrier to classical music and help people feel more familiar with the genre.
Although she began learning violin as a hobby, Seohyun is reportedly giving her all while practicing with the orchestra for this performance. She shared, "I hope that through my challenge, many people will feel closer to classical music and discover a new kind of joy." She added, "I want to show that just like pop music, classical music can be enjoyed easily and happily by anyone. It's music for all of us."
A representative of the Sol Philharmonic Orchestra commented, "We expect that Seohyun's participation will further lower the barrier to classical performances. It will be a very special stage filled with pure love for music."
Meanwhile the concert, conducted by Cho Sangwook and featuring violinist Baek Jooyoung alongside Seohyun, will present a diverse program including Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 5, Márquez’s Danzón No. 2, and Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons. Tickets are available through Lotte Concert Hall and NOL Ticket.
